Devil,
Its true that even in wee hrs we still need to pump or latch baby to keep our supply coming. Now prolong my pumping hours to around 4hrs. So 1 day about 6 times around the clock. I tried to set timing like 3.30am, 7.30am, 11.30am, 3.30pm, 7.30pm and last pump is 11.30pm. So don't need to get up so many time in the wee hours. But when CL left think will have to see hows baby feeding time like. Coz after feeding him BM, his hours for feeding become shorter like every 2-2& half hrs as BM easy to digest ba.

Thanks for your advise. Sob Sob... Have to become a cow....
For your girl, if u use the injection needle kind and put it directly into her throat, so she got no chance to spilt out?

pinksorbet - i read that if early weeks then best not to.. but once hit 3rd trimester shld be okie to massage liao wor... i bought my medela frm kiddy palace... have 10% discount for member.. hehehe... so paid ard 17+ for it instead of 19.30 =) most places selling it at 19.30
jasmine, ur gal is sick??? take gd k of her.. ya.. my massage lady told me to perservere with TBF.. due to the fact that i still can't pump enough excess to store, maybe just sufficient for one feed, I felt very discouraged.. i did not pump every time after latching cos it's very tiring. it's only when i feel bb is not drinking a lot when he latch on me, then i will try pumping the excess. if bb had enough, i wouldn't insist of pumping cos i know the excess will be miserable..

wintertime - i can feel yr stress and disappointment when u posted the message...i heard that milk production is a supply/demand thing...as long as u keep at it, u will have milk! even if not enough, can always supplement it with FM...dun feel discouraged or saddened by it ya....keep it going! jia you!

Cindy,
Nw my gal laying on my lab. Her fever went up again 39.1, just paste the fever relief plaster for her she screaming away.... now making her drink barly water...
Wintertime,
Im not latching my bpy as much like 1st 2 weeks. As I thinking to latch him after my CL left.Bt I do latch him when hecant wait for his milk to be heated. Would think you should pump for supply than latch when you can. If not the longer it is your supply wil be lower and soon you will give in to FM as baby will increase their milk intake. So, try to pump every 3-4 hrs and latch baby at later state in your case. Do try using my way see if it works?

caca,
I was actually induced for my first pregnancy also. But that was cos I was already 3cm dilated and having some irregular contractions. So, for safety sake, gynae say induce. Dilated quite fast after inducing but I think that is cos already dilated prior to that. This time gynae hasn't done any VE, so don't even know dilated already or not. Sigh. I have the same fear as you. Induce and end up ec-sect. :S

Hi all mummies
Here's my birth story:
25/02/09
2000hrs - Visited the gynae at night, I was experiencing some contractions or BH, but it went away after about an hour. Told gynae about it, he did a VE for me. No dilation, though he told me that baby's head was very very low, and also baby was engaged since week 31.
26/002/09
0230hrs - woke up to pee, contractions came again, but at an interval of around 15 mins? Thought it was BH again, tried to zzz..
0340hrs - BH getting intense, decided to wake up and time the interval and the length of the BH.. came around once every 7-8 mins and lasting 30-55 seconds each time. I still wasn't sure if it's the real thing, so I walked around the house, if it's BH it's supposed to go away when one changes activities. Meantime surfed net for more information on BH & real contractions.
0530hrs - Quite sure it's the real thing, cos contractions coming at every 4-5 mins, each lasting about 1 minute already. Woke my hubby up, told him to pack up and get ready to go to hospital.
0620hrs - Reached Mount A, admitted, nurse did a VE and told me I was 3cm dilated, and in labour.. me excited liao.
0700hrs - cleared my bowels
0715hrs - hubby told me he forgot the camera! He's going back home to get it
0745hrs - 6cm dilated.. midwife passed me the laughing gas. It works for me! If u use it correctly. Called hubby to come back quick
0815hrs - gynae came and broke my waterbag, 7cm dilated, hubby back
0835hrs - felt the urge to push.. was still using the laughing gas.. very high..
0854hrs - after many pushes with each contraction, baby Chloe was born.
I felt that the labour pain is still manageable for me, use the laughing gas correctly and it really will help. The midwife and my gynae was very very encouraging and that really kept me going. Of cos dear hubby played a big part too.. wiping off the sweat on my forehead and massaging my cramped calves while I was pushing away.

Dr Ong is really the best, I've no regrets choosing him, you are in safe hands. When I knew from this thread that he was going away for a few days last month, it got me worried too.
Cos I want the baby to be delivered by him only.
Am going to see him tonight for my stitches.
